1 Literacy Improvement in Writing Numeracy Improvement in Mathematics 2017 SITE IMPROVEMENT PLAN Priority Intended Outcomes ( ) Evidence (2016) Targets (2017) Measures Problem Solving and Reasoning Make explicit the application of the range of strategies needed to solve mathematical problems and address mathematical misconceptions. Students will independently and accurately demonstrate fluency and reasoning to mathematical problem solving. This is aligned to the Elizabeth Partnership Improvement Plan. Collecting and Responding to Evidence Use evidence of learner s thinking to assess their progress toward mathematical understandings in a range of contexts, and set individual learning goals. Analyse this evidence to inform feedback, instruction and future planning. Providing Challenge Engage learners in challenging mathematics tasks with multiple entry and exit points. Provide opportunities and time for students to engage in productive struggle, developing persistence, confidence and problem solving skills. Meaningful and Purposeful Writing Strengthen explicit teaching of genre through meaningful connections to purpose. Students write in multiple modes for multiple audiences. Transference of writing skills Students will independently transfer writing skills across genres and across the curriculum. Collecting and Responding to Evidence Use evidence of learner s thinking to assess their progress toward individual writing goals. Analyse this evidence to inform feedback, instruction and future planning. Providing Challenge Engage learners in challenging writing tasks with multiple entry and exit points. Provide opportunities and time for students to engage in productive struggle, developing persistence, confidence and problem solving skills. 12 MONTHS GROWTH IN PAT-M SCALE SCORE Year % Year % Year % Year % (16/19)..
